Because the woman standing on the city wall is none other than Yuan Yiyi.
"Yiyi?"
Hearing this title, everyone, whether it was the commander or the military advisor, became stunned.
This is His Majesty the Blood Emperor!
What shocked them even more was that after hearing the name Yiyi, not only did the girl show no anger at all, but a smile appeared on her pretty face: "Just come back."
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
They knew that Zheng Zhi was a close confidant of the Blood Emperor.
But this...isn't it too close?
Almost all of the people present were veterans, and they immediately noticed something strange.
Sima Yue narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was keenly aware that the relationship between the two was by no means as simple as a monarch and a minister...
However, Zheng Zhi could do as he pleased, but they could not.
Yuan Tianhao and Sima Yue immediately bowed and saluted: "See my emperor!"
Both of them are ministers of the empire and are exempt from the ritual of kneeling.
Yuan Yiyi seemed to know some of Sima Yue's identity and did not impose any additional etiquette requirements.
All the soldiers also knelt down at this moment: "Long live my emperor!"
"Everyone, please get back on your feet!"
Yuan Yiyi smiled slightly and raised her hand.
"Your Majesty, I cannot be blamed for the loss of the border."
Yuan Tianhao was the first to admit his mistake and was ashamed.
He had fought in battles throughout his life and had rarely suffered defeats. This incident was a great shame and humiliation for him.
"Let's talk about it after we enter the city."
Yuan Yiyi waved her hand without blaming her.
She knew very well that Yuan Tianhao had tried his best.
When her eyes saw the army behind Yuan Tianhao, her beautiful eyes even showed a look of relief.
Above Zhanxue Pass, no war has broken out yet.
Within Xiongguan, there are also 400,000 imperial elites with loaded weapons and ammunition stationed.
Compared with the border, the empire attaches more importance to this second line of defense that protects the ten counties.
There are still 150,000 troops in the army that have been withdrawn from the border. Although there are disabled soldiers among them, most of them are still in good condition.
The two armies joined forces and gathered a total of 550,000 elite troops at the Battle of Blood Pass.
Accounting for almost two-thirds of the empire's total military strength.
Moreover, the Blood Emperor has already ordered that reinforcements from all over the country be sent to Zhanxue Pass. There is no shortage of reinforcements at Zhanxue Pass.
If the situation continues to develop like this, the total number of troops invested in this heroic pass may even reach 800,000.
Zhanxueguan, command hall!
Yuan Yiyi sat in the first place.
In order, they are Yuan Tianhao and Sima Yue.
In addition, there is also the governor of Zhanxue Pass, Yuan Hongtao!
Yuan Hongtao can be regarded as the second-ranking figure in the army after Yuan Tianhao.
Born into the royal family, he is also a relative of the royal family.
Although he does not have as deep qualifications and intimidating prestige as Yuan Tianhao, he still has outstanding military exploits.
He has been in charge of the Blood Pass for more than a hundred years, and his reputation is resounding throughout the Bloodworld.
Compared with Yuan Tianhao, Yuan Hongtao is younger and in his prime.
Many people regard him as the successor of the old coach.
And after Yuan Hongtao, it was Zheng Zhi!
The young man sat leisurely with his legs crossed. His appearance was particularly eye-catching.
This is surprising to many people.
This son is so young, how can he be in a high position?
I was puzzled for a while, and most people were a little dissatisfied.
It should be noted that those who can sit in this hall to discuss matters are generals with tens of thousands of troops at their disposal.
Ordinary captains of ten thousand are not qualified to enter this door.
The key is that Zheng Zhi sat behind the four people, and except for Yuan Hongtao who frowned slightly, none of the four people in front were dissatisfied.
It was as if Zheng Zhi was sitting there as a matter of course.
It is precisely because of this that although the generals and senior officials present here were displeased, no one dared to say anything.
"Your Majesty, I am self-examination and have lost my border."
Yuan Tianhao was the first to break the silence.
As the leader of the three armed forces, he should bear the responsibility.
"Commander, there is no need to blame yourself. Although I have never been to the border, I know a little about the situation at the border. It is indeed difficult for an army of 200,000 to resist the pace of zero monsters. The blame for this battle does not lie with the commander."
Yuan Yiyi shook her head without any intention of blaming her.
Hearing this, everyone present also nodded.
There are spies in each army and they are well-informed.
Everyone knows something about the situation at the border.
Furthermore, the old commander's ability to command troops in combat is second to none in the empire. If even he is defeated, it will probably be the same for everyone else.
The difference in strength is too huge and cannot be compensated by command ability.
Besides, with the old commander’s prestige in the military, who dares to accuse the old commander?
At this time, Yuan Yiyi spoke again: "Regarding this battle, I made a big mistake and did not send reinforcements to the border."
"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that in this battle, even if I send reinforcements to the border, it won't help."
"As for the battle of Lao Shuai, I believe that not only should there be no punishment, but rewards should be given. At the critical moment, Lao Shuai remained calm in the face of danger and withdrew the troops in time, thus preserving the vitality of the empire. Otherwise, it is extremely possible to close the 400,000-strong army with blood alone.
Stepping into the footsteps of the border gate."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Wei Xian, please tell everyone about the current situation!"
At this moment, Yuan Yiyi suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Wei Xian stood up slowly.
As the Grand Chamberlain and one of the Blood Emperor's most trusted confidants, he is qualified to sit among them.
With a serious expression on his face, he briefly explained the current situation of the empire.
The Karma Lotus Sect is ready to move.
The blood demon tribe began to operate within the empire.
Dissenters from all sides began to form cliques.
Many ambitious people also want to take advantage of the opportunity and become a generational hero.
All in all, troubled times have arrived!
Upon hearing this news, all the generals present frowned.
At this moment, Yuan Yiyi slowly stood up, scanned the audience with her beautiful eyes, and said: "Everyone, the empire is in crisis now. I know that there will usually be some conflicts between the armies, but I hope that,
This time we can temporarily put aside our past grudges, share the same hatred and fight against the enemy together!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, everyone responded.
Although they have different ideas, they can clearly distinguish the pros and cons.
Their current status and power all come from the empire.
Are there any eggs left behind when the nest is overturned?
If the empire falls, everything they have will disappear.
Therefore, whether it is for themselves or for the empire, they will share the same hatred.
